I can only see ONE REASON. Washington is now a country-club, a government for and by Washington and its professional politicians, not a government for and by the people, not any more. As such, THE ALMIGHTY VOTE is far more important than what is right for the people that empower those in Washington. It is killing this country, bit by bit.
